Curious Relics Of a Prehistoric

AT tho White Plains Saltworks on
the line of the Central Pacific Rail-
road, beyond Wadsworth, in sinking
large pits or wells many fish, per-
fectly preserved, have been found
in the strata of rock salt cut through.
The salt field occupies what was
once the bottom of a large lake.
The fish found are of tho pike or
lpickcrel species, and from twelve to
sixteen inches in length. No such
fish are now seen in any of our Ne
vada lakes. The specimens are not
petritied, but arc preserved in per-
feet form, flesh and all, as though
they had been frozen up in cakes of
ice, The saltworks relocated near
the centre of basin in which was
once lake thirty milcs long, by
from twelve to fifteen miles in
width and over 300 feet deep in
places, as is shown by the ancient
water lines on the bordering hills.
The fish found imbedded in the
layers of rock salt are doubtless
thousands of yearsold After being
exposed to the sun and air for day
or two they become as hard as wood
AT the time Jason Baldwin, now
watchman at the Osbiston shaft in
this city, was Superintendent of the
White Plain works, he found great
numbers of these fish. In pit
eight feet square and about sixteen
feet deep dozensof them were found,
there being sometimes fve or six in
a bunch. 1t was found that they
could even be eaten, but they were
not very paIatable, and it was nee
essary to soak them in fresh water
for two or three days before attempt
ing to cook them. Ytrginta Nec.3

New Dominion.
There is no longer any doubt
that new railroad is seriously
contemplated across the country
between the Ohio and the Monon-
gahela rivers, and that it's eastern
terminus will be dorgantown.
The people of Clarksburg are
counting confidently on this road,
and the knowing ones of Parkers-
burg, who are really the projectors,
say that it only remains to definitely
settle the route.
1t is supposed that probably New
Martinsville will be the western ter
minus or starting point-and that
the road will tap the B. & o. some-
where in the vicinity of the mouth
of the West Fork of tho Mononga-
hela,
The object of the road will be to

the State Senator Camden is cred
tied with knowing a good thing
when he sees it and going for it,
He has promptly discerned the fact
that the MonongaheIa Valley fur
nishes a coal field unsurpassed in
the United States, and that the cox
ing business here is to become the
natural and necessary rival of the
ConnellsvilIe monopoly; that the
great west is now loudly calling for
the development of this territory
and offering a ready market for all
the coke it can possibly produce.
All that is needed to make the
Monongahela valley one continuous
blazing limo of coke ovens that will
bring US untold wealth, is to have
railroad facilities to get the product
to the market. The business that
has already sprung up, as in a night
along the F. NJ. & P. affords an il
lustration of what might be done
with railroad facilities and what
doubtless will be done in the near
future.
The Monongahola Valley can
furnish business for all railroads
that capitalists may be able to
build in the next ten years.

The following is the substance of
what leading dentist in Western
city said the other day: He was
engaged with some gentlemen in
discussing the virtue of remedies
used to avoid the pain caused by the
extraction of teeth, when lady,
who wanted one. of her molars
pulled, entered the Office. The
dentist, in order to prove what he
had been saying, told her he had
some of the new remedy and would
use it SO that she would not feel any
pain. She was well pleased, and
after being seated in the chair, he
rubbed a little water ON her gums.

lady was positive that she felt no
pain, and went away praising the
new remedy.

SIr. GreeI, IS Sense OF Humor.


Mr.. Greely's sense of humor WAS
of peculiar sort, but il was allied
to genius, So many anecdotes have
been told of him illustrative of this
that one can hardly-expect to pro
ducc any now that some one has
not repeated. Those who tried to
joke with him to his disadvantage
were generally worsted whether
they did it orally or through the
press. One evening an. associate
editor of the Tribune accostcd him
as he came into his desk with somc
such questions as this:
"Didn't you know Mr.. Greeley,
that You made dreadful mistake
in one of your statistical editorials
this morning.
@No, how was it2s. said Mr.. Gree
ley.
"why, you said something about
sHcidsieck is champaigne." Don't
you know that Hcidsieck is cham
paigne?.
@wcll, said Mr.. Greedy quietly.
al am the only editor on this paper
that could make that mistake"

What is iliis Disease the! IS Coming

Upon Us?
Like a thief at night it steals
In upon us unawares. The pa
ients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. a sort of sticlSy slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes afaint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clamnly. After while q
cough sets in, at first dry, but.
after a few months it is attend
ed with a greenish-colored ex-
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep.
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is giddiness, a sort of whirl-
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive; the skin il
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de
posting sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently a
splitting up of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a sweetish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation of the
heart; the vision becomes i'm
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn
present. 1t is thought. that
nearly one-third of cur popu-

of its varied forms.
1t has been found that ply

MlDWlNTER WRAPS.

/ Some Elegant Garments Recently Dis
played i'm New York and Chicago.
Some very handsome and luxurious
wraps for evening wear are shown
among late designs, and are even more
elaborate in style and richer in color
ing than the models shown earlier in
the season. The most magnificent
materials are used. and the garnitures
correspond. Plain. striped and bro
caded plush and velvet are the pre-
ferred fabrics. with few feather beads
and silk passementeries used i'm deco
ration. Some of the models are quite
long and others short, but all are
loose, SO that the garment may be
easily put on and of. A luxurious
mantle, falling to the foot of the
dress, has half-fitting back with
plaits below the waist and broad loose
sleeves turned back at the wrists. The
wrap fastens only at the throat, and
the materials are pale-gray velvet bro
cade. in which the figures are outlined
with tiny cut steels, delicate pink satin,
gray marabout bands and steel fringes.
The pink forms the lining. and also
shows against the turned-back sleeves.
Marabout borders all the edges. and
deep steel bead fringe forms cape
about the shoulders. A very beautiful
wrap consists of pale yellow plush.
lined with delicate blue and heavily en-
broidered with gold and turquoise
beads in palm-leaf designs, with finish
ing of fringes to correspond. This de-
sign shows short, moderately-tight
back. with long panel sleeves. Awrap

RAISING BROOM CORN.

Methods of Planting and Cultiyating THAI
Have Been Practiced Successfully.
In the preparation of the soil for
broom corn the same plan should be
carried out as advocated by all good
farmers in preparing the ground for
Indian corn. The better condition as
to fineness the ground is in the more
assurance You will have of good, even
stand. So it will pay to have ground
in as good order as possible. Tennes-
see Evergreen is the most desirable va
riety to plant. If your seed is not en-
tirely free from stems adhering, make
it so by running through a sausage
grinder, or put in barrel and take
spade and chop and work it until every
stem is off, then run through tanning
mill until perfectly clean, as the holes
in the drill-plate are so small that they
are very easily choked up. There is
quite a difference of opinion in regard
to the quantity of seed required, run
ming from Is to % acres from one
bushel of seed. or from IS to 40 seeds
to the rod; 85plants to the rod is a very
good average. From the 18th Of May
until the first of June, or even later,
is good time to plant. In planting
take any good two-horse planter that
has drill attachment, provide yourself
with plates adapted especially to broom
corn seed, and 60 ahead the same as
for Indian corn, only don't plant too
deep, not over one-half inch, If posi-.
BILE.
If you can have three weeks good
weather, all well and good, as the seed
terminates very quickly and grows
rapidly when it has = start. But
should there come hard, driving rain,
like we have here sometimes, it will
bake the ground so that the germ can
not get through; or should it be up
from one to two inches. the ground viii
wash on it SO badly that it viii not
amount to any thing. as the plant is so
very tender that it will be completely
covered up; SO the only thing is to plant
over.
The cultivsting is about the same a.

not get any start Of you. But should
this happen the only remedy then is to
pick and hoe. There are attachments
